Charles Barkley
The former Phoenix Suns basketball player bought a mansion in Gainey Ranch in 1998. He paid about $2 million for the 6,000-square-foot house, which has space for 8 cars in the garage. However, it’s been reported that he expanded the house after buying it so it is even larger now. The backyard looks like a great place to enjoy sunny Arizona days, and features a swimming pool, tennis courts, a putting green for the basketball great to practice his golf game, and lots of lush trees that provide shade and privacy for his sprawling Scottsdale property.
Bret Michaels
Poison’s lead singer said he “fell in love with the desert” as a young adult, and eventually bought a home in North Scottsdale. The beautiful home at Silverleaf in DC Ranch boasts 10,800 square feet with 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and space for 5 cars in the garage. It also has a chef’s kitchen, home theater, wine cellar, and several fireplaces, to name a few premium features. The outside of the property is pretty impressive, too, with nearly 3 acres surrounding it, a guest house, an infinity pool, and incredible views of the valley. And of course, Silverleaf is a guard-gated community.

The Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams football star sold his Paradise Valley home to move to North Scottsdale, where he is now the offensive coordinator for the Desert Mountain High School football team.
